Hello all . My name is Chad and I have recently become a member of this forum . I am happy to be included and want to thank everyone for having us . My wife Marilyn and myself are living in Tulsa OK. and plan on a visit to either Ambergris or Caulker , likely both , in the spring . We plan to stay for a few months with the possibility of relocating permanently . A test drive if you will . Anyway , like many new people to the site we will be full of questions and are looking to the established members for advise and guidance . Please be patient with us and thanks ahead of time for suggestions and assistance .

Im a 46 year old auto technician , Marilyn is a 53 year old Restaurant manager . We are taking some savings and some time off to evaluate the future . So anything past the few months would require some money which for us would require work . We will cross that bridge when we have to . initially it will simply be an adventure !

As it is always exciting to travel and possibly relocate there are many things you need to look into. Employment in the country is a tough one which there are rules that govern this. You will find wages very low and cost of living very high on the islands. Please come and enjoy but don't sell the house just yet ... try it out and see if it is for you guys.

I can already tell that at this point the conversations here will be fun ! We have lots to investigate and will be responsible without planning the fun out of it . AC , we will not sell the house just yet . We know we need an escape plan . Thank you all for the warm welcome . over the next few months we hope to form some relationships here and enjoy them when we arrive . Thanks again everyone . Looking forward to meeting some of you ! Chad
